Kiev invokes God in threat against Crimean Bridge
Moscow has responded with a proverb and another religious reference
Ukraine is planning a third strike on Russia’s Crimean Bridge, Ukrainian Navy Chief Aleksey Neizhpapa told The Guardian in an interview published on Saturday.
The bridge, which was completed in 2020, serves as a vital link between the Crimean Peninsula in the Black Sea and mainland Russia. Since the escalation of the Ukraine conflict in 2022, Kiev has repeatedly attempted to damage or destroy it, justifying its actions by claiming that the structure has strategic military value for Moscow. While Ukraine has launched several attacks, the bridge has sustained damage only twice, with both incidents resulting in civilian casualties.
Neizhpapa insisted that the previous strikes were successful, causing damage to the bridge’s road and rail structures and limiting Russia’s ability to transport heavy military equipment. The vice admiral expressed confidence that a third attack will render the bridge inoperable, invoking the Slavic saying, ‘God loves a trinity’, meaning: ‘third time’s the charm’.
“The Russians understand we are actively discussing a third operation,” he claimed.
Moscow was quick to respond, countering Neizhpapa’s religious reference with one of its own.
“With this attitude toward religion, the Orthodox Church of Ukraine will soon acquire his relics,” Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said.
Leonid Ivlev, a Russian State Duma MP representing Crimea, dismissed the threat with a Russian proverb: “The hen hasn’t laid eggs yet, but she’s already clucking” – which is similar in meaning to ‘all bark and no bite’. He also warned Kiev against celebrating prematurely.
“I do not advise this aggressive hen from the banks of the Dnieper River to try to divide the skin until the bear is dead,” he said, meaning: ‘don’t count your chickens before they hatch’.
Another Crimean lawmaker, Yury Nesterenko, described the Navy chief’s remarks as the “mortal agony” of the Kiev regime.
“It’s yet another attempt to distract Ukrainian citizens from their country’s mounting problems and the dire situation of its armed forces at the front,” he told RIA Novosti. He also claimed that threats like this are often made ahead of Crimea’s tourist season in an attempt to instill fear.
Ukraine continues to claim sovereignty over Crimea despite the fact that the region overwhelmingly voted to join Russia in a referendum in 2014 following a US-backed coup in Kiev. Since then, Ukrainian officials have repeatedly called for the bridge to be destroyed. In 2016, Kiev initiated proceedings at the Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague, arguing that Russia built the bridge illegally. Moscow has dismissed the claims as “absurd,” insisting that it had full legal authority to build the bridge to resolve economic and humanitarian issues caused by Ukraine’s blockade of the peninsula.

Rabbi says there is no red heifer suited for ceremony of third temple in Israel
According to Rabbi Ariel, a prominent figure associated with the Temple Institute in Jerusalem, the quest for a ritually pure red heifer, a key element in Jewish tradition tied to the purification rites described in the Book of Numbers, remains unfulfilled.
In a statement that has sparked discussion across religious and cultural spheres, Rabbi Ariel declared, “At this moment, we do not have a red heifer suited for the ceremony,” highlighting the ongoing challenges in meeting the stringent biblical requirements for this rare animal.
The red heifer, or para aduma, must be completely red, without blemish, and never yoked, conditions that have proven difficult to satisfy in modern times.
The ashes of such a heifer are considered essential for ritual purification, a prerequisite some believe is necessary before the rebuilding of the Third Temple—a topic of significant theological and political sensitivity in Israel and beyond.
According to a report from Israel365 News, cited widely in religious circles, Rabbi Ariel emphasized that while potential candidates have been identified, none currently meet the exacting standards.
The Temple Institute, which Rabbi Ariel helps lead, has been actively working to breed or locate a suitable heifer, a project that has drawn attention from both supporters and skeptics.
Posts on X in early March 2025 noted that some heifers developed white hairs, disqualifying them, with one user humorously remarking that experts were “measuring the distance between them.”
Mainstream outlets have periodically covered this effort due to its implications.
In a 2023 piece, The New York Times explored the Temple Institute’s initiatives, noting the organization’s attempts to revive ancient Jewish practices, including the red heifer search.
While no updated mainstream reports have directly quoted Rabbi Ariel’s latest statement as of March 8, 2025, the topic aligns with previous coverage by outlets like BBC and Reuters, documenting the intersection of religious prophecy and modern geopolitics in Israel.
Experts interviewed by CNN in past years have explained that the red heifer’s rarity—combined with the meticulous scrutiny it undergoes—makes finding a candidate a near-Herculean task. The animal’s significance extends beyond religious circles, occasionally stirring debate among interfaith scholars and political analysts wary of its potential to inflame tensions in Jerusalem’s Old City, home to the Temple Mount.
Rabbi Ariel’s comments suggest a cautious optimism, however.
The Temple Institute is reportedly engaged in “ongoing discussion” about the suitability of current heifers, hinting that the search continues with rigorous debate among rabbinical authorities.
This development has fueled speculation online, with some X users tying it to broader eschatological narratives, though such interpretations remain outside the scope of mainstream reporting.
For now, the absence of a qualifying red heifer keeps the ceremony on hold, leaving observers—religious and secular alike—watching closely.
As The Washington Post noted in a 2022 feature on Jewish messianic movements, such efforts reflect a blend of faith, tradition, and modern ambition, ensuring that the red heifer remains a potent symbol in both ancient texts and contemporary discourse

Republicans Release Text of House CR Spending Bill, As Trump Makes a Urgent Request to 'Remain United'
On Saturday, as some expected, House Republicans shared the text of the continuing resolution spending bill, in hopes of avoiding a government shutdown after March 14.
As our sister site Townhall.com reported:
House Republicans released a six-month stopgap government spending plan that would cut nondefense programs while increasing funding for defense. If the bill is passed, Congress would avert a partial government shutdown during the first 100 days of Trump’s second term and keep the government funded through September.
…
According to the 99-page bill, the plan includes a moderate defense funding increase to about $6 billion above fiscal year 2024 levels, though below levels previously agreed to for fiscal year 2025 under a bipartisan spending-limits deal struck in 2023. The bill also seeks to allow the Defense Department flexibility to start new programs and move funds around, as defense hawks have raised concerns about the military being hamstrung by a six-month funding patch without significant changes. It would also fund already-authorized pay increases for junior enlisted military personnel. There is also $6 billion allocated to healthcare for veterans. Additionally, funding for non-defense programs would decrease by about $13 billion below fiscal year 2024 levels.
It allocates $892.5 billion for discretionary federal defense spending and $708 billion for non-defense discretionary spending.
President Trump gave his blessing to the plans for the stopgap bill, writing in a post, after the text was released on his Truth Social account, that what both the House and Senate are crafting is "very good…under the circumstances."
He went on, strongly urging every Republican to vote for passage of the legislation, which is expected to come up for a vote next week. Reminding Americans of his promises to turn around the nation during the presidential campaign, Trump asked for patience, writing:
Great things are coming for America, and I am asking you all to give us a few months to get us through to September so we can continue to put the Country’s “financial house” in order.
The president warned that "Democrats will do anything they can to shut down our Government, and we can’t let that happen." His prescription? For Republicans to "remain UNITED — NO DISSENT — Fight for another day when the timing is right."
Calling the moment "very important," Pres. Trump closed his message with the rallying cry from the election: "MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!"

US-supplied German jets at risk of Trump ‘kill switch’ – Bild
Washington could potentially disable Berlin’s F-35 fighters, the report warns
German policymakers are growing increasingly concerned over the possibility that the US could remotely disable F-35 fighter jets being delivered to Berlin in the event of a crisis, mirroring its recent decision to freeze intelligence and military support to Ukraine, Bild reported on Saturday.
The German Air Force is set to receive 35 American-made F-35A Lightning II jets starting in 2026 as part of an €8.3 billion ($9 billion) deal. However, some German policymakers fear that US President Donald Trump, who has been at odds with the EU over a number of issues, could use a ‘kill switch’ to ground the aircraft if Washington and European capitals diverge in their approach to a potential conflict with Russia, the article said.
”The ‘kill switch’ in the F-35 is more than just a rumor,” Joachim Schranzhofer, the head of communications at German defense company Hensoldt, told Bild. “But it’s much easier to use the mission planning system – then the plane stays on the ground.”
Wolfgang Ischinger, the former president of the Munich Security Conference Foundation, questioned the fate of the contract. “If we have to fear that the US could do with future German F-35s what they are currently doing with Ukraine, we could consider terminating the contract,” he said, as quoted by the tabloid.
Similar fears about a kill switch on American jets were echoed by experts interviewed by the Financial Times. Defense analyst Richard Aboulafia remarked that while the existence of a kill switch has never been confirmed, “If you postulate the existence of something that can be done with a little bit of software code, it exists.”
Others, meanwhile, suggested that a kill switch would essentially be redundant due to the sophistication of modern fighter jets and dependence on the vendor. “Most European militaries depend heavily on the US for communications support, for electronic warfare support, and for ammunition resupply in any serious conflict,” Justin Bronk, a senior research fellow at the Royal United Services Institute, told the FT.
The concerns about F-35s surfaced after the US froze military and intelligence support for Kiev following a spat between Trump and Vladimir Zelensky, during which the US president accused the Ukrainian leader of not wanting peace with Russia.
The F-35 program has been described as the most expensive military project in history, with total projected costs exceeding $1.7 trillion over its lifetime. Since the first F-35 made its maiden flight in 2006, the program has been plagued by cost overruns, delays, and reliability issues. So far, more than 1,100 have been produced, with many supplied to US allies
